Well, I could if I dug around and not sure if I should worry or not. He's got tunnels dug all through his tortoise table(which is huge..about 7 feet long) and I think he's probably hibernating...he is a WC.

Two weeks ago, he slacked off eating and I haven't seen him in 4 days. He is kept indoors b/c I'll be selling my house this spring and didn't want to make him the proper outside enclosure since I'm not staying here.

The room he's in stays about 70-75 during the day and lately it drops down around 60-65. Of course one side on his table is nice and toasty from his mercury vapor bulb and the other side is cooler. I'm pretty sure he's on that side. The room he's in is always hard to heat/cool and I could always crack a window to make it cooler if needed. But I also have my baby russians in that room who are still eating and very active. I guess if I crack a window, I could stick somekind of nighttime heat above them b/c Stoli's in no shape to hibernate.

What do ya'll think? Turn his lights off, crack a window and leave him alone?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions
